Sébastien Betbeder : 2012
Nights with Theodore
At a party in a Parisian flat, Théodore meets the young Anna. Later in the night, whilst walking her home through Paris, he suggests they go to the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, which is closed for the night. They climb the fence, explore, and share their first night together under a huge tree. The next evening, they meet again and repeat their visit, scaling the locked gates to explore the grotto and an abandoned pavilion full of elegant, dusty furniture. Wrapping themselves in the anonymity of the night, the seclusion and mysteries of the park allow the two lovers to escape from the world outside. Disappearing into its leafy embrace, they forget, while their love blossoms. By day, Théodore and Anna separate and both have small secrets they keep from each other as a result. But then, the pair discover that they are not alone in what they have considered to be "their" park after the sun goes down. They will return the following nights until this strange attraction begins to separate them. The park is becoming addictive, felt and put to the test by Théodore, who will drive their story towards a tragic ending.
